Anthology

Working with the understanding that we intake and process information differently in print than we do online, The Chart puts out an annual publication to anthologize the year’s work and offer additional materials — from resources to new essays — to our readers. Each anthology is hand-printed and bound in Portland, Maine, and all proceeds from the books go directly to funding our contributors over the course of the following year.
